Quick Summary
The Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC (BSA), operator of Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is soliciting quotes for Scintillator Detector components under a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Request for Quote (RFQ). This opportunity specifically requests "No Substitutes" for the required items. The solicitation seeks a single vendor to supply a 51 S 51/3/LaCl scintillator and a Physics AS20 Negative HV unit. Quotes are due by March 20, 2026.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for the supply of two specific items:
- 1 unit of 51 S 51/3/LaCl: This component features a LaCl crystal (50.8mm x 50.8mm), a Hamamatsu PMT R6233, an 8-stage layout, 14-pin base, and aluminum housing. Technical specifications include operational and storage temperatures, and nuclear performance (End-on PHR@662keV). An estimated lead time of 10 weeks from France is noted.
- 1 unit of 6-4-6694/ Physics AS20 Negative HV: This unit requires a voltage divider with passive components for 8 stages, a 14-pin base, negative high voltage use, an SHV connector for -HV input, and a BNC connector for signal output. A Conformity certificate is required.
The resulting purchase order will be subject to BSA's General Terms and Conditions for Commercial Items and Services and BNL Supplier Quality Assurance requirements (BNL-QA-101).
